Miscellany Monday

This year we were able to have a garden. I was so excited. As the food started coming in I was thrilled. Our green beans came in and were amazing. We could not pick our cucumbers fast enough. But that is when I realized that something was weird. Our cucumbers came in mostly as balls instead long pretty cucumbers. Our corn grew and grew and grew and I was so excited. The only problem is that they only grew to be a few inches long. I am so disappointed. I have been told the issue with the corn is that we did not plant enough. We planted 7 rows and you need at least 10. A couple of other issues are that we have tiny carrots and our poor tomatoes did not really grow either. It was not a total waste because the lettuce and spinach did great. We will definitely try again next year. Actually we are trying to decide if we want to do a fall garden. Have you even done a fall garden? What did you plant? Pamela

35 Weeks, I can hardly believe it myself

Do you remember when I first got this dress and it did not look like a maternity dress. Do you remember how I used a basketball to try to make it look like I was pregnant? That seems so long ago. This baby boy is definitely getting bigger and I am definitely feeling it. I cannot believe I will be 35 weeks this week. I had my first daughter at 35 weeks. I had a scare this week. I was driving and suddenly became dizzy and sweaty. I pulled over and sat for a while and then had a head ache for the next day. My blood pressure was normal at the doctor this morning so I have no idea what it was. I mentioned it to the nurse and she did not seem concerned. I have decided that if it happens again I will go in. I see the doctor on Thursday and will bring it up with him. Thirty-five weeks seems amazing to me. I will no longer be concerned that this precious blessing is coming early. I have two more weeks of my progesterone shots. I cannot believe that time is almost over. I would be lying if I said I was not looking forward to being done. I think I should make something special for all the nurses who have taken time jabbing me each week. I still can hardly believe that next month I will be holding this tiny blessing. I packed his hospital bag this week but need to work on mine. Can someone remind me what I need to pack for the hospital? When my water broke at 26 weeks last time I did not really think about taking anything to the hospital. So it has been 10 years since I have really prepared for a newborn. Pamela

Beach Fun

My husband loves the beach. Okay, I guess it is growing on me. I like it except for the wet hair and putting on sun block every 20 minutes. I will be honest once we are there and sun blocked up I love it. I love the sound of the ocean; I love how the kids always find someone to play with. I love how they play in the sand for hours. I love the smiles and giggles. James would have been completely happy just playing in the sand all day. I did not mind because being this pregnant I am kind of scared of going into the water. I fall when I am not pregnant; no way I want to risk it when I am. What is your favorite thing about being at the beach? Pamela

5 Question Friday

1. What is on your summer 2013 bucket list? Not to have a baby, He needs to hold on until September 1 at least. To get my house really cleaned up and organized. 2. What is the most useless item on your child's back to school list? Backpacks, since they do school at the kitchen table, yet they constantly want new backpacks. 3. What is the one reality TV show that makes no sense to you? Naked and Afraid. I only watched a couple of minutes but seriously they do not show the naked part (not that I would want to see it) but really why show a show called naked when you cannot show naked. 4. What is one movie you can watch over and over again? Why? Fiddler on the Roof, Practical Magic, Sound of Music, Mary Poppins could be watched constantly by me because of the music. I really do not even care about the movie. Oh wait, Chonda Pierce and Tim Hawkins is probably what we watch the most of. Funny, Funny and no stress if the kids hear it. 5. What's your favorite back to school tradition? Clean bookshelves, new notebooks and fresh pencils Pamela
